Ragnarites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ragnarites are a fictional religious group in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world setting. Ragnarites are common name for the followers of Order of the Winter Throne which is Lesser Order of Ulric.
Ragnarites were found by a White Wolf named Brother-Templar Ragnar Franzsson in the beginning of 20th century in Warhammer Timeline (IC). This isolated order was controversially taken into the Cult of Ulric in 1975 IC by Ar-Ulric Franzsson, which was Ragnar Franzsson's grandson.
[edit] Order of Winter Throne
Ragnarites and the Order of the Winter Throne is featured in the (WFRP2) supplement Tome of Salvation.
- Order has secluded monasteries of ascetics scattered throughout the colder regions of Nordland, Ostland, Kislev and southern Norsca.
- Ragnarites call god Ulric the "Snow King".
- Ragnarite main teaching is that everyone should repair and train for the "Evernacht", and eternal winter that will choke the life from Ulric's greatest enemies, the Ruinous Powers.
- Ragnarites go for extreme measures for this and sacrifice food, burn food silos and storages in raids...etc. Forcing people to survive through winter with negligible supplies.
- Ragnarite leader is titled Ulricsson. Ulricsson in 2522 IC is a greying giant of a Norseman who, it is said, has not spoken for over thirty years, and consumes only melted snow.
- Legendary headquarters of the order is Ulric's Throat, a cave system in Norsa discovered by the order's founder. It is rumoured that the cave hides the mysterious Throne of the Snow King, although its nature is unclear.
